Learn about Bendigo Invest Direct

Trading with confidence

Bendigo Invest Direct is all about confidence, providing customers with the market leading research, sophisticated analytics tools, speed and access they need to execute trades as they identify opportunities.

BID enables you to diversify your portfolio and capitalise on investment opportunities from around the world with direct access to international markets from the same account.

And with live news feeds with the latest breaking financial news from around the globe, as well as live streaming data for US exchanges, you will have the ability to monitor markets and act quickly all from the one place.

ASX mFunds are fully integrated with the BID platform and a new way to access unlisted managed funds. Using your BID account, you can buy, hold and sell units in unlisted managed funds through a process similar to that of buying and selling shares.

Frequent trader program

The frequent program provides you with different options and features so that you can decide the best fit for your needs and budget. Each level provides you with complimentary access to different features and tools based on the volume of trading activity.

You will qualify for the benefits based on the levels in which your trading accounts fall. Your highest levelled trading account (classic, premium, platinum) will determine the benefits to which you are entitled.

For Sharesight, you will need to opt-in to create a Sharesight portfolio. You can do this via the Tax and Portfolio Reporting page of the platform.

For live or dynamic market data, you’ll need to opt-in by subscribing to a market data package via the full site – to do this, hover over the settings cogwheel in the top left hand corner of your screen, click on “Market Data” and follow the prompts.

All invoicing for data is done in arrears, so in months where you qualify for free data, you will not be charged.

If you have an account which is trading 10 or more times per month, you are entitled to benefits other than free market data.

Trade 35 or more times per month (on one account) to gain complimentary access to a package from Sharesight, our tax and portfolio reporting partner, for up to 3 portfolios. You’ll also be entitled to research reports from theScreener.

Free data is available when you exceed trade levels. If you place 10 or more trades in a month and subscribe to a live data package, we will not charge you. If you subscribe to a delayed data package, it will always be free, with live prices available on the order ticket where you really need them.
